reports coming in, what werewere your thoughts as you saw theaw e event transpire, what were going through your mind as to what you thought this was? >> as soon as you see the second explosion, you realize you're y' looking at something out of the ordinary. if you look at the history of of terrorists in the united statesn going backited to 1970, there'sn over 2300 attacks in the u.s., less than 13% have involved complex attacks, using more than one phase or more than one explosive. you know you're looking atoking something out of the ordinary historically.ally. >> historically speaking that makes it a pretty rare type of event? >> it is, if you exclude 9/11 the average terrorism incidentit has generated 1.4 casualties pet attack, and we're talking 140, , this is two orders of magnitudea greater in terms of the numbers of casualties re generated. less than 2.5% has generated. this is not the norm even authoh

a terrorism incident in the united states. >> looking back, obviously, we went back to 911, but boston inn particular when is the last timt they have seen anything this this magnitude. ma >> they have never seen anythint of this magnitude. only two have involved fatal, fa each of those was an assassination and those occurre in the 1990s.1990 this is the 4th attack since 1990 in the bonu boston. boston is the 14th most frequently targeted city in they united states. it's not among the states that has been most frequently targeted. it's a state with a tremendousia amount of infrastructure andand they're more than capable of handling this even without the e kind of experience that new york and l.a. has had in terms of attacks. >> in terms of this particular t event does it have the earmarks of any particular terrorist terr group or anything like that, or

does it have the earmarks of being, perhaps a domestic terrorist event or something soe that originated from outside ofr the united states? >> terrorism is a tactic, and, d it's an equal opportunitynity tactic. groups of all have adopted thes sorts of tactics. ta the idea that an organization oa an individual would pick a high-profile event in which thec no the cameras will be rollingil to conduct an attack, means that they don't have to worry of propaganda and media. the cameras are going to produce that media for them. for th you will say that a more healedd organization is going to have he their own media capability mayby not rely on an event of this magnitude. however, this is not something that is unique to anyone one ideological group. this was a lot made of thee timing of the attack, this is on tax day, near the event patriots day and the near the event of waco and et cetera. cetera. terrorism is an opportunity of

capable and motive. moti someone had the motive, developed the capability and the opportunity happened to be thiss on this high-profile event on-po this week. week that may be a coincidence, basen on the opportunity of having a i lot of people and a lot of cameras. >> we also, we understand andndd have over the years when iraq and afghanistan you hear about improvised explosive devices ieds, this thing described as as that as well.that we are used to hearing about it happening overseas but not heree at home when you look at what we know, which isn't everything evr about these explosives now, is , this something that is pretty common, the makeup of these thes explosives that we have dealthat with overseas, that our military offices have had to deal with il the past in. in. >> in the united states, ki sayy that over the last year -- i can say that over the last decade da the use of ieds has decreased relative to the previous decadee that is a relative term. term. other tack takes hav tactics hae

rise. there's not that many incidentsi to compare against. i will say that -- if it's -- it turns out that antipersonnel ano metal fra fragments were put ine device, it says something aboutt the lethal intent about the perpetrator as opposed to the bombs generated their own slalnal. shrapnel. the homeland explosions arer the department's homelandland security areas in terms of research and development inlopmn terms of trying to understandnd this phenomenon. phen it's not to say this is aa surprise the use of an ied and explosion. >> thank you for coming in, wewe appreciate snu, thank you inside and stay, th with you fox 5 on and online for the latest on

the usa last week reported on a memo written by an outside ouide analyst about the possibility of widespread cheating on the standardized tests in the d.c.d. school system. that would have occurred 2008 possibly implicating 200 teachers at 70 schools. we know that the reports went to the then chancellor deputies inn charge of accountability. were there any actions taken as a result of that report. >> that report was not a report which surfaced these issues. it was a report or a document in response to information that dcps had received from the superintendent saying these sayh classrooms had been flagged. what the document says is, i i don't understand the flagging methodology. in fact, i caution us not to to move forward, we don't enough th investigate because of thise bef information. that was later confirmed by

speaker at the u.s. departmentpt of education where i said we need a standard for flagging and a standard for investigation. in absent a universal standard that we agree upon, then everything is open to question. i think that is what we're wh seeing here.ng >> i want to talk to you about the investments you're makingakg regarding the upcoming school sc year. have you a number of areas that you're working on, let's talk tk about hu human capital, that's e people. >> we have a dogged focus in making sure that we have the best teachers and principals, pr and to continue the investment n in the fantastic people.c i would say that i have some ofo the best staff in the country ao this point. we will see significant investment in professional developments, opportunities toen train them and grow them forts e challenges around educatingg folks. we have the common course cour standards which call forrds whha teachers to teach differently and we want to make sure that

need immediately they were bombs. they were unmistakably loud, unlike anything, you know,no industrial type noises you are a apt to here. h and, you know, i immediately i sent an e-mail back to the post saying two bombs went off at the boston marathon. >> you had no doubt right away. you didn't think because i knowi there wasnk speculation during early moments maybe this was a gas explosion, natural gas explosion or something like that you didn't think so? >> i didn't. i heard people here say they the thought it was a sell bra tory cannon or something but there was one blast and then another. maybe it's by background, i've v written about national security. bombings at mass events are not beyond my imagination. that's the first thing i thought of. look the boston smart an iconic event. it's been run 117 times. there are thousandsful people there. if you are some deranged personp

wanting to mick a statementnt planting bombs there is something one could imagine. i >> you were a couple blocks away. what went on with the runners and people near were you where? did people run back, run away? >> they didn't run back to see what happened? the police closed off boylston street which is the finish line pretty quickly sox you really ra couldn't run back. you know -- pretty quickly. so you really couldn't run back. it was pretty chaotic. i think 4,000 people never finish. they were stopped at mile 25 and then there were probably tens of thousands of family members ands friends sort of waiting aroundru the finish line area where thert bombs went off for those people who never, who never made it in and you know, their cell phones were on school buses and their equipment bags off the finish line. many of noise people were stranded. familyir friends and members just couldn't connectn'

with them for hours. >> give me a sense of city this morning. obviously yesterday was patriots day. it's a big day, a holiday in boston. today theoretically people are going back to school and that type of thing. tell me what things are likeike there this morning. can i see from my hotel boylston which say crime scene. it's a major intersection in boston. there's the charles river and i see thechar skulling, the crew s out practicing. life goes on but you know, i think, this city will be changea for a long time and maybe forever. certainly the event will be changed for athe long time thes no doubt they'll have it next year but there's no doubt in my mind but it will be different somehow. there's more intense security. it's incredibly sad to think that what is really a joyous

event here has been marred in this way. >> it's been marred next year likely will include some type of memorial service. vernon lobe -- loeb. thank you for joij us. we're glad you are safe. see you soon. >> thank have you he much. >> thank you. >> time now is 8:11 on this tuesday morning. our coverage of boston marathon will continue. >> we'll look at the rush to save the injured and the role r social media played during the chaotic aftermath. aft before we head to break an update on a breaking story. we told you about last hour. a major earthquake killed at k least 42 people in iran and iranian authorities areauth expecting hundreds of more to be dead. the 7.8 quake was center fielded near the -- near thed near the border of pakistan but it was felt as far away as india's capital. we'll be back.

by something like this, obviously a lot of people coming in. all at once but really hospitals in major metropolitan areas hava to be ramped up and prepared for something like this at any given moment, correct. >> that's so true. >> ever since 9/11, i can remember the mobilization thatnh occurred after that, where tha groups of volunteers, the staff was notified that they could bee called. in there have been disaster drills for decades. we go through those mock drills where there's some sort of a a scenario that is concocted wherd you all have to go in and respond. certainly we have people thatpep served in the military who haveo seen things firsthand. all of those forces get together and it sounds like in boston that happened and it resulted in an amazing coordination of efforts. >> good coordination of efforts. tell us how doctors and the other medical personnel begin to treat people in dramatic dra

situations like this. >> well, you know there's a triage set up so you want the t most serious people -- thee -- people that are -- have the moso life threatening injuries that are salvageable to go first. so it sounds like that happened. those people got to the hospital first. we're hearing that there were a lot of limb injuries, traumatic limb injuries, amputations. we heard of head trauma. there was also is shrapnel injuries, chest trauma, eardrums ruptured. there was a lot out there. you have to take that and partition it out to the different hospitals.di you want the levelff one traumam center to get the worst trauma cases and then you go down fromo there. >> the fortunate thing in boston if anything can be said that iss fortunate, is the number of hospitals they have there and really, really fine hospitals there. you mentioned the amputations we're told at least ten took place. how was that decision made and what is the recovery process

like for those people? >> well, you know, the primarymy thing that they are doing is trying to stabilize. we're hearing that many peoplett did have surgery yesterday. that may have been a preliminary surgery trying to preserve the vascular system, reduce the bleeding. rrying to cover up the area, make it, clean it out. debride it. you want to make sure infection doesn't set in. when a bone is exposed you are very, very concerned about the infection. all after this happening and trying to stabilize that tha individual making sure that the fluid balance is appropriate. the thing that really struck me was the shock aspect of it. there's shock, emotional shock but shock to the bod qulism youo lose that much blood, the body has to exen safety. it -- has to compensate. at one point in time or another they are going to reexpakd. your body -- reexpand.

getting the blood to them quickly in the emergency room. we know that those universal donors the o negative people, that's where the blood is goingg to do initially. trying to maintain them becauseb your lungs go into shock, kidneys going into shock. all of these things can happen and that might be what they are battling in the icu for the critical patients. >> you pensioned the blood. i wanted to mention quickly -- you mentioned the blood. the red cross in boston said they are in good shape as far as blood supply goes. >> that's right. >> thank you.nk >> wisdom? >> thank you, tony. our team coverage continues right now with dave ross with a look at the outpouring of of support that has come from across the nation. social media say powerful $ helping to get loved oness connected to each other. search engine google steppingtep into their part as well as to help the victims. v >> as you can damage, in the

chaotic times, everybody is going to try to reach out to the loved ones see yacht cell phone. after a while it's not the best way to try to get ahold of a something in the chaotic situations. what google has done, a two-fold approach to help out via social media. they set up something called people finder. by late yesterday afternoon the web site contains thousands of runners names. on the site you can search for information or provide information. simply type in the person's name and status. if known it will come up. once you find a person you can n click on the name and see if more information is available and even post a message toem. the other thing that has google has done and this is pretty cool here, they've offered people a place to say. so far hundreds of people living in or around the boston area have made rooms, beds, spaces available in their noarms runners or visitors to stay. each post provides a contact name, number, e-mail and description of what is e-mail.

one says i don't live in the city but i'm willing to pick upu anybody who needs a place to stay. another post will pay for a taxi fare to anybody who needs a ride. also the red cross is offeringrg its own database to find loved ones it's called safe and well program. wisdom, as you can see the social media is say powerfull instrument in times -- is a powerful instrument in times i like. this we're seeing it on twitterr facebook and here on google. let's go back up starteds. -- upstairs. 8:38 on tuesday morning. security is expected to be tighi today following those big b explosions yesterday.est the next big marathon is set to take place in london this sunday. official there's already reviewing safety measures. coming up the mother of a virginia tech shooting victimtim takes on capitol hill. hear her message to lawmakers lw
